Sometimes your voice doesn’t sound as sweet or you may be unable to catch the finer aspects in a musical rendition. Or there may be other times when dizzy spellss pin you down in bed. Relax, all is not lost. There are many ways to restore your voice, hearing or balance through modern medicine

Appasamy Hospitals ENT Department focuses on disorders of the ear, nose and throat. Generally people think that ENT deals with hearing loss, ear infections or problems of the sinus. In reality it deals with much more. The ENT Department provides care for a wide range of disorders including hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech, and language. ENT Specialists also treat head and neck cancers and perform reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery.

Appasamy Hospitals provides high quality care to patients with complicated ear, nose and throat disorders. Flexible and rigid endoscopes with video camera system and binocular microscopes are some of the modern equipments used in the diagnosis. Modern technology enables out patient procedures like endoscopic cauterization in epistaxis, biopsies of certain nose and throat lesions. Removal of foreign bodies is accomplished with ease.

With a close collaboration with other specialities such as neurology, neurosurgery, pulmonology, radiology, anaesthesia, internal medicine, allergy, radiotheraphy, oncology, and immunology we offer holistic treatment.

Sinus problems are very common and can sometimes hamper day to day life with their severity. We offer advanced care for patients with chronic sinusitis, nasal polyposis, fungal sinusitis, nasal obstruction, and tumors of the nasal cavity and anterior skull base

Minimally invasive and computer-assisted surgical techniques are available for patients with refractory or complex nasal and sinus disease.

Sleep disorders, when severe, can rob a person of undisturbed sleep at night leading to declined productivity. Appasamy Hospitals offers surgical solutions to patients with severe snoring, obstructed breathing, and sleep apnea.
